Edition ΙΙΟΣ ΙΚΟΥ τοῦ ΤΕ Ε οὐδεὶς ΚΑ τῆς ἐπιγραφῆς Λ
Translation

Fragments from a funerary prohibition - see commentary.

Commentary

Line 2 is perhaps a name followed by τοῦ τέ [κνου but two names in a genealogy are also possible.

In line 3 the first letter might also be gamma, xi or tau; how the following letters should be divided is uncertain, bu tcf 1549 (= MAMA 556b), l. 3, ἕτερος δὲ οὐδείς· καί . . . ,and no-one else (shall be buried there), and.

Line 4 might be from a version of the formula τῆς ἐπιγραφῆς ἀντίγραφον ἀπετέθη εἰς τὸ χρεοφυλάκιον - a copy of this inscription was deposited in the Property -archive.

Line 6 should be from the date for the relevant entry in the Property -archive.
